Can you please use the "Show preview" button each time you make an edit instead of "Save page", you are saving an unneccasry large number of copies of the article, as Wikipedia keeps a copy of each saved edition of the article. --Falcadore 08:39, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

Can you please de-jingoistic the Group A section on the Bathurst 1000 article, I am strongly inclined to add a NPOV tag to it. --Falcadore 08:42, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

Your recent edits
Hi there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; ) at the end of your comment. On many keyboards, the tilde is entered by holding the Shift key, and pressing the key with the tilde pictured. You may also click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! --SineBot 11:22, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

Bathurst 1000
The glaringly obvious part of the recent Bathurst 1000 is how several races get long paragraphs, but 1988, 89 & 91 get a sentence each, if that. The other thing to note is for such a long re-write is you'll recquire some references the article will recquire a tag like that is at the top of the V8 Supercar article. did you type all that from memory? If so then other edittors could pop in and slap a citation needed tag on each claim. One of the pillars of Wikipedia is that no original research can be done towards Wiki articles and that any claim has to be refenced and backed up. It's supremely annoying but its the sort of thing you need to avoid lawsuits.

Long stories about each particular race should be avoided, as each race has it's own page (for example, 1979 Bathurst 1000, and stories about specific races belong best on the page for that race. The article about the Bathurst 1000 should be about the Bathurst 1000 as an overview rather than a race by race description. Think of the article from the perspective of the reader, will a casual reader want to want through 12 paragraps describing most races, or will the casual reader like to see some highlights and controversies, and then, if curiosity is piqued, investigate each race that catches their interest.

It is also recommended that any article reaching 40-50kb is size needs to be split into smaller articles, I haven't how long Bathurst 1000 is, but it is a potential concern. --Falcadore (talk) 02:49, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
